These were really really good. So much better than I expected to be honest. No butter, eggs or refined sugar! Andy gobbled these up. I mean really, he gobbled them. Almost all of them! He liked them best fresh out of the oven, all wet and warm. Sylvie liked after toasting and enjoyed immensely when a little crisp. (That’s her hand trying to steal one during my photo shoot :)) Alisa thought really nice flavor and Greg too despite his lack of love for things whole wheat said very good! Our young friend Lauren sliced, toasted, put m & m’s on top and stated “best thing ever”. (OK, that kind of defeats the “healthier” but oh well, still lots of goodness here). Jodi thought at bit mushy (it is the applesauce) and yes, the first day they were a bit soft and wet but less wet the next day and thereafter. Greg’s friend Matt gave these a thumbs up while Jamie commented on the great consistency and Sam liked these – even though he is a reluctant banana eater. My friend Jill who is into all things healthy for your body and world, urged me to try these, and I’m really glad I did. She is busy building a site – healthy kids healthy world, and on it are these muffins which were recommended by her co-blogger Jen (morendorfins.com) who found the recipe in Better Than Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookbook-Kids Vegetarian Meals.

I made mini muffins and regular muffins and doubled the recipe. But this single recipe makes about 12 reg sized muffins.

I cannot wait to try these. I’m a huge fan (stalker-esque) of your sil’s banana bread, but have to admit, cannot indulge nearly as many times as I make them. The oil is a killer. But as soon as the bananas I just bought today turn brown (and they will, much as I love bananas, because it’s the way the entire banana business works: demand is always made up of people who buy way more than they can eat!), I’m making these.

Made these this afternoon. I must say, they are a great alternative to your sil’s banana bread that I make all. the. time. The whole wheat flour does give these a much heartier (almost sweet-biscuit-y) taste. My kids love them. Of course, the mini-chips are a persuasive element! Thank you for these. I can actually enjoy one of these for breakfast, without feeling like I shouldn’t have.
